Vigor 130 SKY MER and Opnsense
«

Spent all of last Sunday trying to get this to work, and a few hours through the week but made no progress at all.
I have NOW (SKY) broadband currently connected using a TP link router, which I want to migrate across to opnsense via a Vigor 130 ADSL Modem.
it appears that the Vigor needs to be configured as a Bridge thereby letting Pfnsese negociate a DHCP lease.
I have configured the vigor in bridge mode, disabled PPP and enabled MPoA as per this guide:
https://www.draytek.co.uk/support/guides/kb-vigor-130-bridge
and the DSL light is on (not flashing) so I can only assume it has established a connection.
Then I need to configure the WAN in opnsense to use DHCP Option 61 as per this guide:
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/SkyUK.html
I have followed that guide, probably a dozen times starting with a factory reset, but it never is able to get an IP lease.
After configuration and "apply" there's a delay of about 5 minutes when it time outs and of course no connection.
Tried rebooting afterwards but it never gets a lease.
Does anybody have this working with Vigor 130 & SKY/NOW as I am all out of ideas.

I set one of these modems up with Sky recently. Things to check:
- Load the latest BT (OpenReach?) firmware
https://www.draytek.co.uk/support/downloads/vigor-130
- Try VLAN 101, 1 or none
- When in doubt, factory reset and set up bridge mode and VLAN again.
The DHCP option is necessary and sufficient to get a public IP in OPNsense. Make sure you save and reboot.
